Abstract: This invention relates to interdigitation-fusion (IF) liposomes and gels. These liposomes and gels capture high solute to lipid ratios, including bioactive agent. This invention also relates to the discovery that the fusion of liposomes to produce IF gel and liposomes according to the present invention is size dependent. The present invention also relates to a method for producing IF liposomes and gels. In the method of the present invention, sized liposomes formed by sonication, extrusion or alternative processes are fused in the presence of ethanol or other suitable inducer. This process results in a composition of the present invention in gel form. To produce liposomes, the gels are exposed to a temperature usually but not necessarily above the transition temperature (Tm) of the lipid used. The temperature required by the methods of the invention is that temperature which induces a change in the material properties of the mixture. The inducer may also be removed. The result is a composition comprising liposomes containing high solute to lipid ratios. The IF liposomes and gels of the present invention may be used in combination with numerous solutes, especially including bioactive agents.

Abstract: A substantially dust-free granulate with a desired mean particle size and a narrow particle size distribution is produced by a spray drying process comprising atomizing a solution or suspension of the material to be granulated to droplets; contacting said droplets with a stream of drying gas and a stream of solid feed particles in a spray drying and granulation zone to obtain a granulate by collision between droplets and feed particles and between moist feed particles; withdrawing the particles or granulates from the spray drying and granulation zone; and subjecting these particles or granulates to a size classification into two fractions in a countercurrent gas/gravity classifier, comprising a coarse fraction of the predetermined particle size which is withdrawn as product and an undersize fraction, which is returned to the spray drying and granulation zone as solid feed particles.

Abstract: A papermakers fabric having a system of flat monofilament machine direction yarns 22,23 (hereinafter MD yarns) interwoven with a system of cross machine direction yarns 21a,21b (hereinafter CMD yarns). The MD yarns 22,23 have an aspect ratio of greater than 3:1. Furthermore the MD yarns are vertically stacked with at least paired upper 22 and lower 23 MD yarns which weave over and under CMD yarns 21a,21b in such a manner that when a lower MD yarn 23 weaves over a CMD yarn 21a an upper MD yarn 22 is weaving (or floating) over the lower MD yarn 23. This ensures that no knuckles are apparent on the upper surface of the fabric. The weave gives rise to a warp-fill in the range of 80-125%.

Abstract: Lorsque des blocs de données vidéo en interlignage sont transformées selon une transformée cosinus discrète (transformation DCT), l'efficacité du codage laisse à désirer lorsque l'image a un contenu dynamique. On a par conséquent proposé de passer adaptativement par exemple entre une transformation 8*8-DCT et une transformation 2*(4*8)-DCT, ce qui entraîne toutefois des dépenses accrues, étant donné que l'on a recours à deux transformations DCT différentes. On peut maintenir un codage efficace avec un traitement économique des données vidéo, lorsque l'image a un contenu dynamique, en effectuant au lieu d'une autre transformation DCT une multiplication, au moyen d'une matrice spéciale, des blocs de points d'image transformés par DCT correspondant au contenu statique de l'image. L'invention s'applique à des magnétoscopes numériques.

Abstract: On décrit un procédé et un appareil servant à réguler la concentration d'ions de réactif dans un décanteur afin d'optimaliser les réactions qui y ont lieu. Dans un mode de réalisation important, le réactif régulé comprend des ions halogénure placés dans un réacteur au cours de la précipitation et de la croissance de grains d'halogénure d'argent. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le procédé consiste à mesurer la quantité d'ions halogénure à l'intérieur du décanteur de précipitation; à mesurer les vitesses d'écoulement du circuit d'amenée de l'halogénure et le circuit d'amenée de l'argent; à mémoriser la concentration d'ions halogénure mesurée et les vitesses d'écoulement mesurées des circuits d'amenée; à calculer une valeur de concentration d'ions halogénure estimée en fonction de la concentration d'ions halogénure mesurée et les vitesses d'écoulement des circuits d'amenée mesurées mises en mémoire; et à réguler de manière modifiable la quantité d'ions d'halogénure ajoutés au décanteur en fonction de cette valeur de concentration estimée. De préférence, un nombre N de concentration d'ions halogénure et de vitesses d'écoulement de circuits d'amenée d'argent et d'halogénure les plus récemment mesurées sont mémorisées et utilisées pour déterminer la concentration d'ions halogénure estimée. Des algorithmes mathématiques sont développés pour faciliter le calcul de la concentration d'ions halogénure estimée et le réglage requis de la vitesse d'écoulement. Un appareil analogue est aussi décrit ici.

Abstract: Heat exchangers of high performance and high hygiene levels are produced from steel and galvanised. It has been found that a more stable and resistant structure is achieved by constructing the heat-transferring ribs by means not of plates, but of sheets 19 to 21, 23 to 25 arranged in a multiplicity of rows. The alternating use of sheets of different width permits different dividing spacings of the sheets to be achieved in the direction of passage of the air to be cooled, without the need arising for a corresponding number of gaps acting as balancing zones. Due to the elimination or substantial reduction of the number of gaps, the latter can be held so wide without essential impairment of the thermal performance that metal bridges are avoided in the case of galvanisation and the settling of foreign bodies which impair hygiene is suppressed during operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article such as a diaper provided with a continuous upper layer (5), an absorbent element (6), an impermeable plastics sheet (9), elastic parts (10) positioned along the lateral edges to either side of the absorbent element (6) and two elasticated flaps (11) positioned inwardly of the elastic parts (10). Each flap (11) is formed out of the continuous upper layer (5) by use of an elastic element (14) fixed along its entire length to the inner surface of the continuous layer (5). The continuous upper layer (5) is liquid-permeable in the zone between the two elastic elements (14) of the flaps (11) and impermeable in the two adjacent zones located between the elastic elements (14) and the lateral edges of the absorbent article. In use, the elastic elements (14) contract, lifting the continuous upper layer (5) off the underlying surface, at least at the crotch area, forming two longitudinal barriers which are impermeable on the side facing the lateral edges of the absorbent article, thus ensuring a more efficient containment of lateral leakage of liquids and solids in an absorbent article of simplified structure.
